- A lighting unit body that can provide indirect lighting without changing interior fixtures is proposed in
Patent Document 1. -
Patent Document 1 describes the lighting unit body in [Solution] in [Abstract] at the time of filing the application, as follows. - "As illustrated in
Fig. 1 , a reflective shaped-member 1 comprises alighting unit 2, and a shaped-member 3 to which thelighting unit 2 is mounted. The shaped-member 3 comprises areflective surface 30 for reflecting radiation of the lighting unit, and emits light from thereflective surface 30. The shaped-member 3 is made of an aluminum shaped-member. With thereflective surface 30, soft shiny light can be generated, and soft lighting performance can be achieved using the shaped-member as an optical means." - In addition,
Patent Document 1 indicates inclaim 1 at the time of issuance, as follows:
"A shaped-member comprises a reflective LED comprising: a lighting unit comprising an LED plate as a light emitting means; and a shaped-member to which the lighting unit is mounted, wherein the shaped-member comprises a reflective surface for reflecting light radiated from the lighting unit, and shapes light to be emitted from the reflective surface, wherein the reflective surface comprises an inclined surface located on one end side of the shaped-member and inclined with respect to an irradiation surface of the lighting unit, a flat surface formed substantially in parallel to the irradiation surface, and a surface extending from the flat surface to the other end side of the shaped-member and being not in parallel to the flat surface." - PATENT DOCUMENT 1: Japanese Patent number
JP-B-6,425,436 - However, according to
Patent Document 1, when a direction from left to right in Fig. 2A is defined as a left-to-right direction, there has been a problem in that the left-to-right direction width of the reflective shaped-member 1 tends to be wide. - In other words, light is reflected by the
reflective surface 30 that is composed of an inclined surface 300, a flat surface 301, and a bent surface 302, and then emitted from "an emission outlet" formed on the right side of anirradiation surface 24. Therefore, the left-to-right direction width of the reflective shaped-member 1 is "the left-to-right direction width of theirradiation surface 24 plus the left-to-right direction width of the emission outlet plus α", which tends to become wide. - The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a lighting unit body that can provide indirect lighting without changing interior fixtures, wherein the left-to-right direction width of the lighting unit body can be reduced.
- To achieve the object described above, a lighting unit body according to the present invention comprises: a light source; and a shaped-member, in which a housing portion in which the light source is disposed, a reflective surface for reflecting light that comes from the light source, and an emission outlet for emitting the light that comes from the reflective surface are respectively formed in a longitudinal direction. The lighting unit body is characterized in that, when a position at which the emission outlet is located is defined as forward and a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is defined as a front-to-rear direction and when a direction orthogonal both to the longitudinal direction and the front-to-rear direction is defined as a left-to-right direction, then the emission outlet is formed in a front portion of the reflective surface, and the housing portion is formed in a rear portion of the reflective surface and directed obliquely rearward at a predefined inclined angle on one of either left or right side, and the predefined inclined angle is an angle that inhibits visual observation of the light source from the front of the emission outlet, and wherein the left-to-right direction position at which the light source is disposed is included in the left-to-right direction position at which the emission outlet is located.
- According to the present invention, in the lighting unit body, the housing portion, in which the light source is disposed, is formed in a rear portion of the reflective surface, and directed obliquely rearward at a predefined inclined angle on one of either left or right side. The predefined inclined angle is an angle that inhibits visual observation of the light source from the front of the emission outlet, and thus indirect lighting can be provided without changing interior fixtures. In addition, in the lighting unit body, the left-to-right direction position at which the light source is disposed is included in the left-to-right direction position at which the emission outlet is located, and thus "the left-to-right direction width of the light source plus the left-to-right direction width of the emission outlet" does not exceed "the left-to-right width of the emission outlet." Therefore, the left-to-right direction width of the lighting unit body can be reduced accordingly.

The firstreflective surface 11 is formed such that it initially extends substantially orthogonally from the vicinity of a tip b of therear side surface 22b to thebottom surface 22a, and reaches an end point p (a point located at the rearmost position), and is then gradually directed forward to extend to one end of the emission outlet 13 (right end, in the example illustrated inFig. 2 ). - The second
reflective surface 21 is formed into a convex shape. The secondreflective surface 21 is formed such that it initially extends from the vicinity of a tip c of thefront side surface 22c to the other end of the emission outlet 13 (left end, in the example illustrated inFig. 2 ). - The first
reflective surface 11 and the secondreflective surface 21 described above face each other. The spacing between the two surfaces in the left-to-right direction is wider at a front portion than at a rear portion. - At the
emission outlet 13, aprotrusion 12 extends outward from the firstreflective surface 11 toward the secondreflective surface 21. The left-to-right direction width L of theemission outlet 13 is thus reduced by the height of theprotrusion 12. - The
light source 30 comprises a substrate 31 being long in the longitudinal direction, and evenly spaced LEDs (light emitting diodes) 32 disposed on the substrate 31. Thelight source 30 is disposed at a position nearer to thebottom surface 22a than a straight line M1 connecting a tip a of theprotrusion 12 and the tip c of thefront side surface 22c. - The first
reflective surface 11 described above is formed in one component (shaped-member 10), which is one of a plurality of components that make up a shaped-member, and the secondreflective surface 21 is formed in another one component (shaped-member 20). As a result, no joint is be formed between the firstreflective surface 11 and the secondreflective surface 21, and thus reflection light becomes smoother accordingly. - The
lighting unit body 1 described above may be mounted onto a ceiling C, for example, through the securingplate 5. - As illustrated in
Fig. 1 , a total of threeellipse holes 5a are provided in the securing plate 5: one in the vicinity of thedecorative cover 6, one in the vicinity of thedecorative cover 7, and one at an intermediate portion between them. The securingplate 5 can be mounted onto the ceiling C, using screws (not shown) inserted through the holes from under the securing plate. - Protruding
portions members plate 5, thereby thelighting unit body 1 is positioned in place. - The
lighting unit body 1 is then mounted to the securingplate 5, by means of an anti-drop tool (not shown) provided in a housing room R. - As described above, the
lighting unit body 1 can be mounted onto the ceiling C. - The
lighting unit body 1 may be mounted onto a wall surface Wa, instead of onto the ceiling C, with its longitudinal direction being directed vertically, or with its longitudinal direction being directed horizontally. -
Fig. 5 illustrates light paths when thelighting unit body 1 illustrated inFig. 2 is mounted onto a ceiling C with a height of 3000 mm from a floor surface F, and spaced 900 mm apart from a wall surface Wa. - According to the
lighting unit body 1, the floor surface F and a lower portion of the wall surface Wa can be illuminated with indirect light, as illustrated inFig. 5 . - Effects and advantages of the
lighting unit body 1 of the first embodiment are summarized below. - * In the
lighting unit body 1, theemission outlet 13 is formed in the front portion of the firstreflective surface 11 and the second reflective surface. In addition, thehousing portion 22 is formed in the rear portion of the firstreflective surface 11 and the secondreflective surface 21, directed obliquely rearward at a predefined inclined angle θ on one of either left or right side. The predefined inclined angle θ is set to be an angle such that it inhibits visual observation of thelight source 30 from the front of theemission outlet 13, and the left-to-right direction position at which thelight source 30 is disposed is included in the left-to-right direction position at which theemission outlet 13 is located. - With this configuration, the
lighting unit body 1 can provide indirect lighting without changing interior fixtures. In addition, in thelighting unit body 1, the left-to-right direction position at which thelight source 30 is disposed is included in the left-to-right direction position at which theemission outlet 13 is located, and thus "the left-to-right direction width of thelight source 30 plus the left-to-right direction width of theemission outlet 13" does not exceed "the left-to-right direction width L of theemission outlet 13", and thus the left-to-right direction width W of thelighting unit body 1 can be reduced accordingly. - * In the
lighting unit body 1, direct light that comes from thelight source 30 is not emitted from theemission outlet 13. Only indirect light that comes from thelight source 30 and that is then reflected by the reflective surfaces (the firstreflective surface 11, the second reflective surface 21) is emitted from theemission outlet 13. As a result, a user will not be dazzled by direct light from thelight source 30. - * In the
lighting unit body 1, thehousing portion 22 is formed into a concave shape, having thebottom surface 22a with a predefined inclined angle θ, therear side surface 22b, and thefront side surface 22c. The reflective surface has a concave firstreflective surface 11 and a convex secondreflective surface 21. The firstreflective surface 11 and the secondreflective surface 21 face each other, and the distance between these surfaces in the left-to-right direction is greater in a front portion than in a rear portion. Therefore, for example, when thelighting unit body 1 is mounted onto the ceiling C, the floor surface F and the wall surface Wa can be illuminated. - * When the predefined inclined angle θ with reference to the front-to-rear direction is set to be 5° ≤ θ ≤ 45°, the
lighting unit body 1 can illuminate both of the floor surface F and the wall surface Wa, although the illuminated region varies depending on the magnitude of the predefined inclined angle θ. - * In the
lighting unit body 1, theprotrusion 12 is formed at theemission outlet 13, and thus the left-to-right direction width L of theemission outlet 13 is reduced by the height of theprotrusion 12. As a result, thelight source 30 becomes less visible from the front of theemission outlet 13 accordingly. - * In the
lighting unit body 1, thelight source 30 is disposed nearer to thebottom surface 22a than the line M1 connecting the tip a of theprotrusion 12 and the tip c of thefront side surface 22c. Therefore, thelight source 30 is not visible from the front of theemission outlet 13. - * In the
lighting unit body 1, the firstreflective surface 11 is formed in one component (shaped-member 10) which is one of a plurality of components that make up a shaped-member, and the secondreflective surface 21 is formed in another one component (shaped-member 20). As a result, no joint exists between the firstreflective surface 11 and the secondreflective surface 21, and thus reflection light becomes smoother. - The
lighting unit body 2 according to the second embodiment, to which the present invention is applied, is described with reference toFig. 3 andFig. 6 . -
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of thelighting unit body 2 of the second embodiment.Fig. 6 is a light path diagram of thelighting unit body 2 illustrated inFig. 3 . - Note that how the
lighting unit body 2 is mounted onto a ceiling C or wall surface Wa is similar to those described for thelighting unit body 1 of the first embodiment. In addition, in the discussion below, differences between thelighting unit body 2 illustrated inFig. 3 and thelighting unit body 1 illustrated inFig. 2 are mainly described. - The
lighting unit body 2 comprises shaped-members light source 30, as illustrated inFig. 3 . - The shaped-
member 40 has a concave first reflective surface 41, and aprotrusion 42 is formed at anemission outlet 43. - The shaped-
member 50 has a secondreflective surface 51 and ahousing portion 52. A predefined inclined angle θ of thehousing portion 52 is equal to a predefined inclined angle θ of abottom surface 52a, and set to be θ = 15°. In other words, in the first embodiment, the predefined inclined angle θ was set to be θ = 35°, whereas θ = 15° in the second embodiment. Based on this difference, the first reflective surface 41 and the secondreflective surface 51 have shapes different from those in the first embodiment. - The
light source 30 is the same as that of thelighting unit body 1, but it has a different predefined inclined angle θ. - Also in the second embodiment, the
light source 30 is disposed nearer to thebottom surface 52a than a straight line M2 connecting a tip a of theprotrusion 42 and a tip c of thefront side surface 52c. Therefore, thelight source 30 is not visible from the front of theemission outlet 43. -
Fig. 6 illustrates light paths when thelighting unit body 2 illustrated inFig. 3 is mounted onto a ceiling C with a height of 3000 mm from a floor surface F, and spaced 900 mm apart from a wall surface Wa. - As illustrated in
Fig. 6 , according to thelighting unit body 2, the illuminated area of the floor surface F is reduced compared with the case of thelighting unit body 1 illustrated inFig. 5 , but the illuminated area of the wall surface Wa is increased and the wall surface Wa ranging from the floor surface F to a portion upper than the middle of the wall surface Wa can be illuminated. - Note that the
lighting unit body 2 of the second embodiment can provide all the effects and advantages of thelighting unit body 1 of the first embodiment. - The
lighting unit body 3 according to the third embodiment, to which the present invention is applied, is described with reference toFig. 4 andFig. 7 . -

lighting unit body 3 comprises shaped-members light source 30, as illustrated inFig. 4 . - The shaped-
member 60 has a concave firstreflective surface 61, and aprotrusion 62 is formed at anemission outlet 63. - The shaped-
member 70 has a secondreflective surface 71 and ahousing portion 72. A predefined inclined angle θ of thehousing portion 72 is equal to a predefined inclined angle θ of abottom surface 72a, and set to be θ = 5°. In other words, the predefined inclined angle θ was set to be θ = 35° in the first embodiment, whereas θ = 5° in the third embodiment. Based on this difference, the firstreflective surface 61 and the secondreflective surface 71 have shapes different from those in the first embodiment. - The
light source 30 is the same as that of thelighting unit body 1, but it has a different predefined inclined angle θ. - Also in the third embodiment, the
light source 30 is disposed nearer to abottom surface 72a than a straight line M3 connecting a tip a of theprotrusion 62 and a tip c of a front side surface 72c. Therefore, thelight source 30 is not visible from the front of theemission outlet 63. -
